Kristopher turn 8!

Today my son Kristopher turned 8. I can't believe it. It's so true about all the people who say that time with your children flies by so fast. He's becoming his own person full of his own beliefs, ideals, and interests. Even though I get a little sad when I look at baby pictures of him I can't wait to see what kind of man he will turn out to be. He is very intelligent and loves to build his Lego sets. I'm hoping he will become an engineer or something along those lines. I also pray that he is happy and that we can continue to provide the best education we can and a safe environment to grow up in. He has helped me so much with our twin girls and I don't know what I would do without him. Since Brian works so much me and kids spend a lot of time together and are extremely close. I hope that doesn't ever fade away but I know it will take a lot of effort on my part as well. I love being a mom and I can barely imagine what my life was like before I had kids.

Love ya babe!

Since this was the first time I have ever voted I was extremely involved in this election. I couldn't watch enough debates and coverage of the race. I am so happy that Obama won the presdential race. I'm also very excited that California voted yes for Prop 2. Hopefully industrial farming will start to be run differently and there will be less harmful treatment of the farm animals and our food will be safer.

Miss you Daddy

Today is the one year anniversary of losing my dad, Richard. Today (especially this morning) was very hard. But as the day has gone on I am also so thankful that God gave me such a wonderful dad. My dad was amazing and he never hid his love for us. I have never met someone who fought so hard for life. He understood that family, friends, and most importantly faith in God is all that mattered in the world. He always wanted the best for us and did just about everything in his power to make sure that we were always taken care of. There have been little things this past year when I missed him most like my twin girls first birthday, my niece being born, and for my son Kristopher who misses his papa Richard. I can't believe a year has flown by and I constantly feel his presence in my house, not in a scary way but in a comforting way. I know he is my guardian angle and I can't wait to meet him up in heaven. He has taught me so much and I will make sure that my children will know what an amazing man their grandfather was.

I love you daddy.
